Hat Attack #31

February’s Hat Attack features a vintage Norma Kamali baby leopard print toque with matching gauntlets. These pieces were “seized” from my hat shop in the 1980’s and they traveled with me on my recent trip to Sedona.

I decided that they needed to be focused upon more fully after I fell in love with them once again. They hadn’t been on an outing for years and are now having a revival!

I love hats that are “shape changers” and can present as different personalities on a whim. This Norma Kamali beauty transforms from toque to beret at the drop of a chapeau!

Please display your hat, headwrap, headscarf, headpiece, fascinator, hair flower, headband or other adornment for your head that you adore, give The SC a FEBRUARY HAT ATTACK and kindly link to Style Crone somewhere in your post. Can’t wait to see the beautiful contributions that you share throughout the next week. Participation will be open through Sunday, February 7th.

Now this set is something I would love to have. It is so chic and high hats are good on my head. Mind you, you have a classic face and short hair… I have… a different face (haha) and longer hair. But if I had seen the hat in a shop I would have certainly tried it on. Together with those gauntlets, the set is striking.
And I also adore your jacket. Big love again from my side. I just haven’t got a hat to participate in the Hat Attack.

By the time I get to commenting, everyone else has pretty much covered the bases. Judith, you are like a piece of really good chocolate in my life. Your posts make me smile (and sometimes think.) So appreciative that I stumbled on your blog some years ago.

That’s brilliant the way your hat transforms from towering crown to oo-la-la beret. And you look stunning in each style, especially with that tailored suit and gauntlets. Thanks for hosting again. I’ve started playing with hats more from your example and all the gorgeous women here.

Oh Judith, I do so love that elegant hat- all the more so because it is a shape shifter! So clever! I’d love to find a hat of this kind! I also adore your beautiful caped jacket- so pretty and elegant.xx

I,m with everyone else on this Judith this is one striking hat on you. I always appreciate a hat that can be shaped in different ways. The matching gauntlets are just the icing on the cake, perfect with that stylish jacket. Thank you so much for hosting an continuing to inspire.

Judith, you just don’t see gauntlets being worn enough (if ever) now days. I so wished they would bring them back around, I simply adore them. Your entire assemble is breathtaking. I seriously didn’t know they even made hats that were “shape changers”, how magnificent is this? Now I know what is on my bucket list of vintage hats.

oh my goodness, I just realized I had something on my head! So here I am to join in finally. Wow, what an amazing hat you have on. Not that you would have any that are short of amazing. But this one does transformations too. Magic.
